research The Cutaneous Serotoninergic/Melatoninergic System: Securing a Place Under the Sun
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin, which help protect and maintain it.
research Melatonin
Melatonin may help with sleep issues, depression, and cancer, but more research is needed.
research Wnt Signaling Regulates Symmetry of Division of Neural Stem Cells in the Adult Brain and in Response to Injury
Wnt signaling helps control how brain stem cells divide and is important for brain repair after injury.
research Characterization of the Serotoninergic System in the C57BL/6 Mouse Skin
Mouse skin can produce and process serotonin, with variations depending on hair cycle, body location, and mouse strain.
research Analysis of Protein Interactions by Surface Plasmon Resonance
Surface Plasmon Resonance is a useful tool for studying protein interactions and has potential for future technological advancements.
research Leucaena Leucocephala: A Nutritional Profile
Leucaena leucocephala is nutritious but needs careful processing to remove toxins.
research Pharmacological Treatment of Alopecia
Only minoxidil and finasteride are FDA-approved for hair loss, with other treatments available but less effective or with side effects.
research Past and Future Strategies for GPCR Deorphanization
Finding functions for unknown GPCRs is hard but key for making new drugs.
research Skin Signs Due to Starvation
Skin changes can indicate starvation and nutritional deficiencies in anorexia nervosa.
research Synaptic-Like Vesicles and Candidate Transduction Channels in Mechanosensory Terminals
SLVs help maintain muscle stretch sensitivity and could aid in treating hypertension and muscle spasticity.
research Wound Healing Impairment in Type 2 Diabetes Model of Leptin-Deficient Mice: A Mechanistic Systematic Review
Leptin-deficient mice, used as a model for Type 2 Diabetes, have delayed wound healing due to impaired contraction and other dysfunctional cellular responses.
research Atypical Hippocampal Glutamate Receptor Coupled to Phospholipase D Controlling Stretch-Sensitivity in Primary Mechanosensory Nerve Endings Is Homomeric Purely Metabotropic GluK2
A special receptor in sensory nerve endings helps control how they respond to stretching.
research The Connection of 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors to the Development of Depression
5-alpha reductase inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, may cause depression, but more research is needed to understand why.
research Modulating Mechanosensory Afferent Excitability by an Atypical mGluR
A compound named ZCZ90 can increase muscle spindle firing, potentially helping treat muscle spasms and hypertension.
research Orchestration of Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells and Inflammation During Wound Healing
Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells (MSCs) help in wound healing and tissue regeneration, but can also contribute to tumor growth. They show promise in treating chronic wounds and certain burns, but their full healing mechanisms and potential challenges need further exploration.
